Sheepdog (LoZ: Twilight Princess, Link)

"Ugh," Midna groaned, "Don't you have any pride?"

Link ignored her, because they both knew the answer to that: not much. Not the kind a princess would care about. Not the kind that kept Link from belly rubs. Townfolk knew less about what a wolf looked like than the more knowledgeable Ordonian villagers, and with the right body language and a playful attitude, even Rusl threw sticks for Link. What kind of wolf waltzed right into a city, tail wagging, tongue lolling, barking and licking hands and ready for play?

Midna scoffed at Link, because she knew better, saw every time Link tore out a throat with bared teeth, licking their chops clean of blood, using the memory of hands to use those claws to tear into enemies. Yet, here they were, surrounded by some castle town children all jostling to get a chance to pet their soft fur. One girl had even tied a bow around their neck.

Honestly, she was just being silly. The first dogs were descended from wolves, everyone knew that. Link had guarded livestock and people alike all their life: why would they be less careful as a beast?
